DRIVE YOUR OWN TUKTUK IN SRI LANKA!

Rent a tuktuk in Sri Lanka and India! We rent tuktuks to travelers who want the freedom to explore Sri Lanka and India by driving an authentic and reliable rickshaw! Get off the beaten track and find amazing places and people other tourists miss. See the real Sub-Continent!

We source our tuktuks from local drivers to help them earn extra income. In Sri Lanka, over 70% of tuktuks (trishaws, three wheelers, autorickshaws) are owned by people on low incomes – renting with us means more income for their families! Make an impact while you travel and be the change you want to see.

OUR PEOPLE

We are a social enterprise. When you rent a tuktuk with us, you’re helping a local family attain a better life. We don’t own tuktuks; we rent them from our network of over 60 local tuktuk owners. This enables them to transition out of full-time tuktuk driving and into higher skilled careers.

I have a lot of stories about our month in Sri Lanka. But bottom line, the tuk tuk was the most amazing experience. Without it, I am pretty sure we wouldn’t have enjoyed our time spent there as much as we did. We got to explore more freely, we didn’t feel the limits that we would have probably got by traveling by bus.

The service that Tuk Tuk Rental provided was outstanding. They take care of all the administrative side of driving a tuk tuk in a foreign country (license, insurance, registration type things), provided a sort of "bible" of advice for getting around Sri Lanka and operating the tuk tuk, and dropped the tuk tuk at my door when I arrived in the country. They took the anxiety out of the unknown and left me with an amazing adventure!

Simply the best thing we've done in months! We had a great little Tuk Tuk which was awesome to drive, The team on the ground are super friendly and helpful and we felt perfectly safe and looked after from start to end! the fact that they are supporting local drivers/owners is just the icing on the cake!

Renting a Tuk Tuk in Sri Lanka was one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences of my life. The island is small but vast and the Tuk Tuk mobilised us to travel at our own pace and cover so much ground, which meant we didn't have to miss anything we wanted to see... plus the locals absolutely love seeing a westerner driving a Tuk!

@ United Kingdom

Travelling in this iconic vehicle has to be one of the best things we've ever done! You really do get more out of your trip because of it. You get to experience more from the locals, the rural areas, the villages, the real Sri Lanka, not just the touristy towns the buses stop at.

@ South Africa

What can you really say about driving a tuk tuk around Sri Lanka? It's pretty much all in that sentence - it's just great, just the best way to get around! Distances are very manageable, and there is so much to see within fairly short distances from each other.
